Was your school experience similar to what you want for Casper?
I guess I don't expect that kind of school for Emmett or Matilda. Emmett's school is highly rated and he has benefited from being around a lot of smart kids, and having experienced teachers.
But he doesn't love school and I don't worry about that. I'm a bit leery of school being too all-encompassing of what it gives a child. I guess I just feel like it's healthy that Emmett's got other priorities besides school. It doesn't define him.
School is sort of his job. He does it well but he's far more engaged in what he does away from school.
